Global warming is here, and it is wreaking havoc on our planet. As we don’t seem to be curbing our pollution levels fast enough, some engineers have begun to think of other solutions to climate change such as geoengineering. Geoengineering is a type of advanced environmental engineering that brings together science and technology to try to undo some of the harm we have caused to the planet. It consists of a variety of techniques from cloud seeding to stratospheric aerosol injection. Geoengineering when put in practice seems straight out of a science fiction movie. But it is indeed happening today. For instance, the United Arab Emirates is currently using drones to create artificial rain. Cloud seeding can increase rainfall by 30 to 35 percent in a clear atmosphere. It can also clear fogs to improve visibility and reduce the size of hail and prevent hailstorms. This may sound like an exciting development but it does come with its fair share of risks. In this video, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of cloud seeding and even look at some instances of cloud seeding gone wrong.
